So I had flown into Las Vegas on Friday and attended the pre-conference Education and CARE meetings for CA World on Saturday and Sunday. Today is when the official CA World kicks off and for those of you who don’t know CA (Computer Associates) puts together this trade show every 18 months to bring together training, education seminars and networking for information technology engineers and managers alike. It is a fairly large event and usually over 10,000 people attend the event.
I will be speaking on Wednesday at 11am and giving a detailed overview of how we leverage CA SiteMinder Web Access Manager in our company. We do make very extensive use of the product and push it to the extremes in terms of functionality and what the product can do and support so we make a good case study.
I have to say the Venetian Hotel which I have been staying at has some nice suites, the room we are staying in has 2 queen beds, 3 LCD tv’s, one in the bed area, one in the living room area with couch and office desk. And one in the bathroom so you can watch TV while you take a bath or get ready…etc.
I usually leave CNN turned on 24×7 when I am in my hotel roomas I like to stay up on current events and hear the latest news with the economy and world. I am trying to get blogging done in the early morning and at nights before and after my conference sessions. I will be focused on attending seminars that pertain to Identity and Access Management and Web Security as that is my expertise.

Just wanted to pop in and wish you good luck on your speaking engagement. You’ll let us know how it goes, right?
Been to the Venetian, but didn’t have the fortune of staying overnight there. It’s a beautiful hotel. You’re lucky.
Thank you for your kind words and support, I am all stomach knots today with stress I assure you.
I know today’s the big day. I’m thinking of you. BTW, my own presentation two weeks ago went fine. Yes, my stomach was in knots, but the second I went on — POOF! Knots be gone. You WILL BE FINE. I’m looking forward to reading about how you rocked the house!
Thanks for your encouraging words, I will definately post later today. My presentation is in 3.5 hours and counting.
